My first review was written a number of years ago. Since then, I have started spending two months a year in La Manzanilla, and this year I'm going for three months. I love this beach and town and Palapa Joe's is the center of nightlife for ex pats of the baby boomer generation, although many bring along visiting kids and grandkids who seem to have a good time as well. A number of professional musicians from Canada winter here and they keep the joint jumping. Wonderful music of our generation and everyone gets up to dance--singles as well as couples. I have an 81 year old friend who drags me out to dance by the hair if I don't show up voluntarily! This is a place for people who stay young until they die. I've eaten there 3 or 4 times and the meals were good. Let this review take precedence over the last, and the loud music that lasts all night is actually from another bar. If you go to Palapa Joe's on a music night, say hi to the keyboard player.. that's the owner and boss!

Under new ownership in 2015, and remolded twice; (completed immediately before Hurricane Patricia, and then redone again after) this is a lovely spot to enjoy an evening beverage and bask in the sunset. This is the quintessential tropical paradise beach b

Went to this restaurant on a recommendation. My husband and I had the chile con carne. It was horribly dry and loaded with cheese. Only ate a couple of spoonfuls. Our friends had the chicken strips. Those were barely adequate and appeared to be made of ground chicken shaped into a drum stick. The setting is pretty with a view of the ocean. Would never go back there.It's terribly upsetting to hear that Bambu Sunset was not able to provide you with a satisfactory meal. On behalf of Sarai, myself, and the entire staff, I offer you our apologies. Normally, I would be doing the cooking myself, but unfortunately, this season I have to be in the States. I was just in La Manzanilla a couple of weeks ago, and spent my days teaching prep-work and cooking skills to our entire kitchen staff. Now, I will give a virtual class this week with the key kitchen staff.I would like to assure you that we do not, and have never used any form of chicken strips. We source our chicken from a supplier in Puerto Vallarta who provides a milder tasting imported chicken to some of the fine dining establishments in Guadalajara and elsewhere throughout Mexico; without a doubt, we pay a premium for this. We could use lesser quality ingredients, but we pride ourselves on offering the finest quality to our customers. Herbs, spices, and chili powders and many other supplies are purchased in the United States then brought to the restaurant monthly or bi-monthly. Chocolate powder comes from France. I do wish you had spoken to my partner, Sarai, about your experience before leaving; things would have been taken care of on the spot. Should you do decide to return (and I hope you will) please make her aware of your presence. All flubs will have long been taken care of by then. Thank you.
